Search Google Maps for businesses matching a query, with lead-qualification filters.

IMPORTANT: Google ranks results by prominence, which correlates strongly with having a website and many reviews. Businesses lacking a website or phone are therefore ranked LAST and often fall outside the 60-result ceiling. A small result count under has_website:false means the view is truncated, NOT that few such businesses exist. Use sweep_area for representative coverage of a city or region.

Fetch full Google Maps details for up to 10 businesses by place ID. Returns opening hours, all phone formats, address components, reviews and business status. Costs one API call per place ID — use search_businesses first to narrow the list.

Search an entire city or region by tiling it into overlapping circular searches, then deduplicating.

Use this instead of search_businesses when you need representative coverage rather than the top results. A plain search returns at most 60 results ranked by prominence; this applies that ceiling per tile instead.

COST: this issues roughly one to three API calls per tile. max_tiles defaults to 25. Raise max_tiles for better coverage and higher cost. Every response reports the exact call count.
